50-plus fashion: Silver belles step it out in style and attitude

When emulating the 50-plus fashion mavens it’s not just their style you should adopt, but their attitude too, says Carolyn Moore

WHEN CoverGirl announced in September that Canadian model Maye Musk was to front their new campaign, their choice of a silver-haired 69-year-old didn’t raise as many on fleek eyebrows as you might think.
